[Verse 1]
Oh, Look at the black man, stretching out his arms in despair
His path is gloomy
His problems never ending
He is looking for a job
There are no opportunities
Oppression, Oppression

[Chorus]
How long are we to suffer this way
Our children are always in need
We are not yet free, we are not yet free

[Verse 2]
Oh, Look at the black man, stretching out his arms in despair
He is dependent on another to carry him
Carry him like a bag
Oppression, Oppression

[Chorus]
How long are we to suffer this way
Our children are in need
We are not yet free, we are not yet free
